Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Fitzgerald: B.

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ryan Fitzgerald fell into the 243rd pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in No. 59 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 91 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at pick 135 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 181st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 201st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the 207th pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in No. 211 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 243 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
